Last night, JAY-Z headlined V Festival at the Weston Park venue in Staffordshire, England. In addition to honoring Chester Bennington with his “Numb/Encore” performance, Jay also played songs from 4:44 for the first time, including “The Story of O.J.,” “Kill Jay Z,” “Family Feud,” “Smile,” and more. Watch footage of the set below. In a new interview with Rap Radar hosts Elliott Wilson and Brian “B.Dot” Miller, Jay broke down the meaning of several 4:44 tracks, and clarified his stance regarding his alleged shots at Kanye and Future on “Kill Jay Z.” He recently delivered a new “Footnotes” video in which he discussed the importance of therapy. His most recent music video from the new album was the Lupita Nyong’o-starring clip for his James Blake collaboration “MaNyfaCedGod.”
